I was called ‘old-fashioned’ by a family friend because I still stick to good old search and find the solution online loop and don’t use coding “AIs”.

This has " We thought more people would pay for the fake currency with the real currency" vibe to it.

Same here. Deus Ex needs a remake.

I really wish I could say the same. Depression sucks.

On a serious note, last year I felt so pathetic after reading a comment on a question I posted on stackoverflow that I went over the edge and attempted suicide and like everything else I failed. Not saying that SO was responsible or anything. One guy pushed me over the edge, when I was already under a tremendous stress.

I do. Let me delete my account and come back tomorrow with the same question.

I wouldn’t call stackoverflow reliable. It is only partly reliable, if you are lucky.

Internet enables most, if not all the piracy.

That’s more money than Concord’s revenue.

No.

I completely agree. Clair Obscur feels genuine in a sea of live-service, in-game store laden modern AAA games. Almost like it was made for gamers and not investors.

These games also show that ‘Actual creative people should be in charge of game studios, not MBAs, who only care about money.’

I will make it work by not buying games at 80 usd.

Someone got to shill for billion dollar companies.

There is an IRL adblock. It’s called being a recluse. /s

That is why I cannot take vibe coders seriously. There is a fundamental disconnect between what they are trying to achieve and how they are trying to achieve it.

No. Adblocking helps tremendously with that.

Because you understand that there is more to code than getting it to do what needs to be done, you can objectively judge code on more than one criteria. Meanwhile, vibe coders think that the concerns about structure and maintainability can be short circuited. No wonder, managers and vibe coders think alike.

Better a good enough solution now that the best solution few weeks later.

Yup. It is real. There are people who genuinely believe, it is the future of coding. That is why I posted the tutorial. /s
